This country is trying to turn into Germany, don't you think?
Why? Because in Germany if a policeman catches you crossing a street at a pedestrian crossing when the little man is 'red'; you'll get fined on the spot. You can't hang washing out on a Sunday, mow your lawn on a Sunday or even wash your car on a Sunday; on Sundays all garage car washes are closed by law.
When I was in Germany (I lived there for several years on and off) the kind Germans even paid us (British Soldiers with kids) German Child Benifit (which is MUCH more than the UKs) and it was backdated for nearly three years. I received a couple of grand for doing nothing and a nice monthly payment from them too; on top of all that tax free overseas allowances and tax free perks we got anyway.
Germany is a soft-touch nanny-state-and-a-half... and the UK is heading that way; if we're not already there now.
But if I want to use a ladder, I'll ruddy well use one; and no-one is stopping me; not even Tennant Clean.
And what's his problem anyway?
